In a recent interview, former Sony Interactive Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida shared insights into the tough decisions behind cancelling two major game projects, each costing $25 million. Yoshida emphasized the importance of recognizing when a project isnt working, even after significant investment, to avoid further financial loss and developer burnout. Yoshida recounted how one of the cancelled projects was being developed by Santa Monica Studio, known for its high-quality titles. Despite the promising concept and gameplay ideas, the team ultimately decided to halt development when they realized the game was not coming together as envisioned.
